Gelaire Class II Biological Safety Cabinets
These are widely used internationally and are known for their high safety, energy efficiency, and ergonomic design. Key features include:
Airflow & Protection
They employ part-recirculating laminar airflow and separate H14 HEPA systems for both supply and exhaust. The design ensures a consistent air barrier at the front opening and maintains sterile downflow inside, all within a biodynamic sealing system that uses negative pressure around any positive-pressure zones.
Eco® Control System
A smart microprocessor actively regulates airflow to compensate for filter loading, manage power consumption, and maintain safe operational flow rates.
Monitoring & Safety Alarms
Cabinets offer real-time display of airflow velocities, internal and external temperatures, operation hours, filter life, and fan power factor. Audible and visual alerts warn of airflow deviations or other malfunctions. Standby power-saving modes and “blackout” reporting (in the event of power failure) are included.
Construction & Ergonomics
The housing features antimicrobial powder-coat finish, and interior zones are stainless steel (Type 304 for work zones, Type 316 for the tray). Hinged or electric sash options (depending on model) and ISO-aligned ergonomic design, noise under 60 dB(A), and smooth operation are standard.
Options & Accessories
Available extras include gas and vacuum taps, splashproof power outlets, UV germicidal lamps, different exhaust configurations (top, left, right), adjustable stands, carbon exhaust filters, armrests, and fumigation seals.
